Better coverage
I like having the coverage, I feel that it could cover better. I even purchased the wellness coverage. I got a nine week old puppy. You would think it would cover all the immunizations. I understand not the spay. I think you would process claims a little faster too. I never know where my claim is.

Amazing coverage for people with pets
This policy has been a life saver for me and my pets. I can go to the vet knowing I am covered and knowing I do not have to worry. This helps keep my budget in check and ensures that I am able to offset a majority of the cost for my fur babies when they need medical help. Vet care is expensive, but it is necessary. We have had to deal with cancer, and puppy getting into things puppies get into and always I am reimbursed in a rapid manner and I get great follow-up from VPI.

Doesn’t Cover Much
My premium has almost tripled in just 4 years. They levy pre-existing conditions, so most of my vet visits are not covered. They have many exclusions and limitations, and although they paid half of a major orthopedic surgery my dog had, I was still responsible for $3,000. And if you are thinking of getting it for an upcoming surgery, they’ll either slap a pre-existing condition and not cover it or not cover it because you only had your insurance for 6 months or less. I do not think I will renew my policy.
